Currently undertaking my final-year internship (PFE/SFE) at ECCBC, focusing on practical cybersecurity experience. Gaining hands-on skills in security operations, regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and advanced security practices. Collaborating with a professional team to strengthen my expertise in real-world cybersecurity challenges.

During my Final Year Internship (Bachelor’s Degree) at Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company (ECCBC) – Morocco, I played an active role in a strategic network migration project integrating Atlas Bottling Company (ABC North) into the ECCBC secured infrastructure. I engineered and validated the new network architecture using EVE-NG prior to production deployment, ensuring proper segmentation, scalability, and alignment with enterprise security standards. I contributed to the configuration and hardening of next-generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks, strengthening perimeter defense and access control policies. I also supported the secure migration of users and IT assets, contributing to the enhancement of the organization’s cybersecurity posture and infrastructure resilience.

As a Spring Boot & Spring Batch Developer, I was responsible for developing and maintaining backend components of a regulatory reporting application aligned with the requirements of Bank Al-Maghrib. I led the implementation of batch processing workflows using Spring Batch to ensure reliable, scheduled, and high-volume data processing. In addition to backend development, I worked on the application security layer, contributing to authentication, authorization mechanisms, and secure data handling practices to ensure compliance with regulatory and security standards. My role involved optimizing performance, ensuring data integrity, and reinforcing the overall security posture of the reporting system.
